After my last updates I noticed that, after leaving the computer incative for some time, when I come back I get the login screen again.
Thanks. I'll wait for it to happen again, then I'll post the results.First, check to see if your entire system crashed and restarted. Go to a shell and enter: $ who -b This will tell you the time of last boot.
You can tell when X last started as follows:
[ewilts@pe400 log]$ grep Time: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
/var/log/Xorg.0.log:(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Wed Dec 15 06:34:11 2004
Since I do not know anything about the original poster I might comment that for a novice the reauthentication screen of xlock can look like a login screen. It is good to review the screen saver optons for the "lock Screen After value" if we are in doubt.
Here is a one line command should tell us if the screensaver is doing what we expect.
egrep "^mode|^lock|^dpmsEnabled" $HOME/.xscreensaver
Thanks. I tried this line but: >egrep "^mode|^lock|^dpmsEnabled" $HOME/.xscreensaver egrep: /home/seabra/.xscreensaver: No such file or directory
Anyway, the problem only happened twice right after I updated the system After that it didn't happen again. Just bacause now I want it to.
